Hi! 

While configuring my kernel, i set some features, such as pppd stuff &&
nls stuff, to be built in.

After compiling it, i rebooted with this new kernel and got this error:

---BEGIN ERROR---

Calculating module dependencies.......  [!!]
        Failed to calculate module dependencies
        ERROR: problem starting needed services:
        *checkfs* was not started
        *local mount* was not started
        *clock* was not started
        *bootmisc* was not started

---END ERROR---

After looking in those scripts sources, i found that latter scripts
depend on first script and that the first (checkfs) script depends on
modules script. In that module, i've found that error string with
details redirected to /dev/null. So i redirected them to some file,
rebooted and opened that file in console.

Here's what was in it:

---BEGIN CODE---
modprobe: module char-major-<xxx> not found
modprobe: module char-major-<yyy> not found
.....etc
---END CODE---

Next, I went to /etc/modules.d directory
and found there a 'ppp' script with aliases for those char-major-xxx
modules listed above. 

But i don't need that stuff!!! I have it compiled in my kernel!
I solved the problem by commenting out ALL those lines with aliases. 
AND ALL WENT WELL ON NEXT REBOOT.

'All' exept nls modules :).
Now I have similar errors on boot, but this time it looks like this:

--BEGIN CODE--
modprobe: module nls-<some-compiled-in-encoding> not found
(this line repeats for each built in encoding)
--END CODE--

So that's my problem. The questions are:

1. Can i solve problem with ppp modules in another way, i.e. without
commenting out lines in /etc/modules.d/ppp?
2. How to solve problem with nls modules? I didn't find a solution yet.

Your help is very appresiated.
Thanks a lot.

Dmitry.
